Boxing Manga "Boys on the Run" to be Adapted into Live-Action Drama

Kanjani8 boy band member Ryuhei Maruyama will be playing against type in a TV drama adaptation of Kengo Hanazawa's Boys on the Run. The manga follows a 30-year-old, lovelorn capsule toy vendor who takes up boxing to win the girl. However, Hanazawa (Ressentiment, I Am a Hero) has won accolades for disturbing story stories of losers, and this one certainly doesn't feature a cute romantic sports story.
